Adding a Twitter feed to your Webflow website can be a great way to keep your visitors updated with your latest tweets. With just a few simple steps, you can seamlessly integrate your Twitter feed into your Webflow site. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of adding a Twitter feed to Webflow.
Step 1: Create a Twitter Developer Account
If you haven’t already, head over to the Twitter Developer website and create an account. Once you’ve created an account and logged in, navigate to the “Apps” section and create a new app by clicking on the “Create an App” button.
Step 2: Generate API Keys
After creating the app, go to the “Keys and tokens” tab. Here, you’ll find your API key, API secret key, access token, and access token secret. These keys will allow you to connect to the Twitter API and fetch your tweets for display on your Webflow site.
Step 3: Install the Twitter Embedded Timeline Widget
To add a Twitter feed to Webflow, we’ll be using the Twitter Embedded Timeline Widget. Visit the Twitter Publish website and click on the “Timeline” option.
Customize your timeline by selecting various options like username, theme, height, etc. Once done customizing, click on “Copy code. “
Step 4: Add Custom Code Embed
In Webflow’s Designer view, select the page where you want to add the Twitter feed. Click on “Add Element” from the left-hand panel and choose “Custom Code.” Paste the code you copied from the Twitter Publish website into the custom code embed box.
Step 5: Preview and Publish
Now, click on the “Publish” button to make your changes live. Open your published Webflow site and navigate to the page where you added the Twitter feed. You should now see your Twitter timeline displayed on your website.
Troubleshooting:
If you are experiencing any issues with the Twitter feed not displaying correctly, make sure you have entered the correct API keys in the custom code embed. Additionally, double-check that your Twitter account is public and not set to private, as private accounts cannot be embedded.
Conclusion
Adding a Twitter feed to your Webflow website is a straightforward process that can greatly enhance user engagement. By following these simple steps, you can seamlessly integrate your latest tweets into your Webflow site and keep your visitors informed. Now go ahead and give it a try!
